Bebel Gilberto--Tanto Tempo

The Wondermints--Mind If We Make Love To You

R. Kelly--Trapped In The Closet (requires the video) deserves to be on the list, but doesn't make the cut since the music is so dependent on the visual.

Honorable mention to the Hives for Veni Vidi Vici & Black And White Album, the Libertines, the Ditty Bops, Beck for Guero & Sea Change, Nick Cave for his last 2, the Little Killers, the Raconteurs for Consolers, Nicole Atkins for Neptune City, Neil Young for -Greendale, Al Anderson (once of NRBQ) for After Hours, Nick Curran & the Nightlifes for Player!, Jet for Get Born, Ray LaMontagne for Trouble, Johnny Cash for American V, Nick Lowe for At My Age, Wilco for Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Luka Bloom for Before Sleep Comes, Neil Diamond for 12 Songs, Petra Haden Sings The Who Sell Out.

Eminem for Curtain Call, though that gets an asterisk since it's the greatest hits.

Then there's stuff that was either recorded long ago or re-imagined, possibly with a release in a modified form. Like the soundtrack to flicks like The Aviator & Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Woman On Top also, stuff like Tom Waits' Orphans, the Miles Davis Seven Steps box, Brian Wilson's Wondermint' version of SMiLE, the jump blues collection assembled by a fan in like Belgium (Dr. Boogie) from the collection of the guy from Canned Heat (Bob Hite?), the Beatles' Capitol Records albums versions--both boxes, the remasters of the Ramones & Replacements albums which sold jack sh*t, the recent Big Star box, and John Coltrane's recently discovered double live CD from late 1965, One Up One Down (much better than the solid but way-overly-hyped Thelonious Monk issue from Carnegie Hall in 1957, featuring Coltrane in between stints with Miles Davis), and...

Beatles remasters in a few days.
I also failed to list The Thrills - So Much for the City, a cd that few on here, if any, ever mentioned, but I think they caught lightning in a bottle.
